No, even the carpet mats aren't standard anymore. Like the others said, it's one more negotiating point. Sigh. Most dealers wrestle over every dime anymore. When I bought my 335i sedan, the pre-purchase inspection found a nail in one of the tires. First, the guy wanted to claim it must have gotten the nail on the 3/4 mile roundtrip to the inspecting shop, because it most certainly didn't have it before...then, he even tried to negotiate away part of the replacement price, "because that's not a new tire, and we'd be replacing it with a brand new one"...!!!

This was a "two-walkout" deal, after all was said and done. The second walk-out was when they tried to tack on some of those garbage fees after OK'ing the price. That just was NOT going to happen.

The salesman came running after us into the lot and said, OK, let's talk some more. All the garbage went away at that point.

Yes, we got mats, BTW.
